To find out how many stamps Beth will sell in the next 26 weeks if she continues at the same rate, we multiply the average number of stamps she sells per week by the number of weeks:

Average number of stamps sold per week = 872 Number of weeks = 26

To find the total number of stamps she will sell in the next 26 weeks: [ \text{Total number of stamps} = \text{Average number of stamps per week} \times \text{Number of weeks} ]

[ \text{Total number of stamps} = 872 \times 26 ]

[ \text{Total number of stamps} = 22672 ]

Therefore, Beth will sell 22,672 stamps in the next 26 weeks if she continues at the same rate.
